Why You Should Learn To Code (And How To Actually Do It) - DIY Genius In the Lost Interview with Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder said, "I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think." I like to think of coding as applied math and sciences because it teaches us an iterative approach to solving problems and testing out our ideas. While I don't consider myself a coder, apart from HMTL/CSS I don't code in my daily work, I did find that learning the basics of how to code on CodeAcademy has done wonders for improving my problem solving skills. Now that software is eating the world by automating all kinds of routine jobs, the basic knowledge of how lines of code create the digital worlds we explore every day is becoming a fundamental digital literacy.

Avoiding common HTML5 mistakes Between curating sites for the HTML5 gallery and answering readers' questions here at HTML5 Doctor, I see a host of HTML5 sites and their underlying markup. In this post, I'll show you some of the mistakes and poor markup practices I often see and explain how to avoid them. Don't use section as a wrapper for styling One of the most common problems I see in people's markup is the arbitrary replacement of

In XHTML or HTML4, I would see something like this: Best Free Ways to Learn Programming I can remember back when I was young how alien a couple of lines of code that were published in a kid's magazine looked to me.

35 Inspiring Quotes from Albert Einstein Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955), the famous theoretical physicist, developed the theory of relativity and is considered the father of modern physics. The nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer shared his impressions of Einstein by saying, "He was almost wholly without sophistication and wholly without worldliness . . . There was always with him a wonderful purity at once childlike and profoundly stubborn." Due to his brilliance Einstein was often called upon to offer opinions on topics beyond the realm of physics; thus the wide range of inspired quotations. "Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts."

CSOs react over FG's lifting of Twitter ban
By Gabriel Ewepu
CIVIL Society Organisations, CSOs, Thursday, reacted over Federal Government's lifting of Twitter ban after seven months on Wednesday, while expressing their views on the development.
There's nothing cheering on lifting Twitter ban-AGDI. The Executive Director, Adopt A Goal for Development Initiative, Ariyo-Dare Atoye, said, "The ban on Twitter was equally a test of the resilience of Nigerians, especially the youth who saw the federal government's action as personal to the president, selfish and undemocratic, and so were able to navigate the ban with the use of several Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
"The ban was less effective and many Nigerians were able to use Twitter for the entire duration of the embargo, it is in doubt the federal government was able to negotiate from an area of strength.
"That the negotiation dragged for another three months after the President conceded on October 1, 2021, to unban Twitter if certain conditions are met could indicate that the government was unable to negotiate advantageously significantly.
"There is nothing cheering or to celebrate with the lifting of the ban because it was unnecessary, parochial and self-serving. The federal did not ban Twitter for the national interest but regime protection.
"We do not expect Twitter to concede to undemocratic conditions because there are minimum global standards and thresholds that Twitter cannot fall below in terms of protecting the right of users in civic technology spaces.
"There is nothing if the government can get Twitter through to register, pay taxes and employ a few Nigerians, but using these conditions to negotiate was an afterthought after drawing criticism for ego-banning Twitter to protect the President.
"The ban on Twitter had exposed the regime as intolerant and President Buhari as unrepentant of his dictatorial tendency. We expect some level of monitoring, but it will change nothing because people critical of the Buhari regime are expected to do more as we enter the elections season.
"Nigerians enjoy the freedom of speech and association as enshrined in the constitution, and nothing can take that away, even though no freedom is absolute."
FG has tarnished Nigeria's image whether lifting Twitter ban-CN
The Convener, Concerned Nigerians, Prince Deji Adeyanju, said Federal Government has tarnished Nigeria's image in the comity of nations whether lifting Twitter ban.
Adeyanju said: "The Twitter ban was an anti-democratic act, it has no basis in law because our constitution has made explicit provision and Nigerians have the right to fully express themselves and receive information.
"So the ban is a contravention of the right of Nigerians to receive, hold and share opinion on social media, especially on mobile app Twitter.
"The only exceptions; the Freedom of Expression it has been for public safety and health, order, morality, and the ban did not fall within those exceptions of their omnibus clause of the constitution because the only reason why Twitter was banned because the ego of the President was affected; he made a hate speech against the Ibos and Twitter rightly deleted his tweet, and how does the ego of the President been bruised amount to the exceptions of the omnibus clause put in the constitution? It does not fall within the exception.
"I believe that we supposed to be in a constitutional democracy but this is actually a totalitarian regime.
READ ALSO: The conditions FG gave Twitter
"It is unfortunate whether the conditions set by the Federal Government which it now alleged that Twitter ascended to if it is indeed true that it ascended to censorship of citizens of Nigeria then Twitter has become an enabler of tyranny, and Twitter is now an active tool in suppressing free speech, and this can never augur well with democratic governance in any part of the world.
"Whether lifting of the ban by government portrays Nigerian in bad light, of course it does among the comity of nations because when the human right index is going to come it is going to reflect this, and this ban is going to be one of the key indicators and key factors and it is going to affect Nigeria's standing in the human rights index because citizens cannot freely express themselves and cannot freely speak.
"There should not only be freedom of speech there should be freedom after speech and this is what the current regime is taking away from Nigerian citizens.
"The action of the government of course is shrinking the civic space because you can see majority a lot of the people in the last 222 days were using VPN to tweet. It has affected businesses in the country and several other things, and limited the rights of citizens and this cannot be acceptable in a democracy.
"Many of us defied the ban because it is the irreducible minimum in a democracy that when authoritarian regimes bear their fangs it is the responsibility of the citizens to live up to their responsibility and claim their rights.
"No government will ever concede your right to you if you do not lay claim to it, and that was exactly what happened during #ENDSARS that citizens woke up to their responsibility and they said no these barbaric killings, this violations of fundamental human right, extra-judicious killings cannot happen, and this was what many of us did.
"We were ready to go to jail as threatened by Malami and we defied them and the government ban.
"Nigerians must continue to defy the tyrannical acts of its government because in words of Thomas Jefferson "When the government fail the people they is democracy and when the people fail the government they is tyranny."
Punishing Nigerians before lifting Twitter ban insensitive-OLF
The Founder and Global President, One Love Foundation, OLF, Chief Patrick Eholor, said Federal Government punishing Nigerians before lifting Twitter ban is insensitive.
"We receive with joy and mixed feelings that Twitter ban has been reversed by the federal government but the position of One Love Foundation is that the ban into was illegal and unconstitutional.
"I therefore want to say that if the government fears its citizens, it is freedom and this is step again to remind our people who have been very docile that power belongs to the people and that without the people there is no government.
"It is a mixed feeling to me that is coming at this time to lift up the ban of twitter after he (Buhari) has punished us as citizens, and not just only punished us, we have lost a lot of money because people depend on this and people were making a living out of this."

In most cases, Texas has a streamlined probate process, and there are also several less expensive non-probate alternatives that can save your family significant money, including a muniment of title and affidavits of heirship. These tools are often especially useful if the only assets to be transferred are a home, small bank accounts, or in-state real estate.
If you have a valid will then the Texas probate process is relatively simple and efficient. The key being – a valid will and the probate process will take less time and money. Without a will it is different story.
Creditors and Predators: As the Will is public record, creditors of your beneficiaries can seize the inheritance to pay for outstanding debt.
Contact our probate attorneys today to discuss your probate needs and alternatives to ensure the process is simple and effective for your loved ones.

BTW, anyone who is able to make it, our D/S group meets at Live Oak Grill on Hempstead and Dacoma Wednesdays at 7pm. Tonight we're going to be discussing Uncle's Terlingua Ride March 2015.
And you had better company!
Ha,I was thinking the same thing.
Anyone up for Skippers tomorrow morning? I have some guys coming by to put in some piers but I hope to get them started and then go to breakfast.
I will try to not fall back asleep or be found by Murphy.
If it's cold and rainy enough, I might even ride a motorcycle.
Silliness, that's about all it is ... was ... whatever!
Hey, one time I couldn't get out of work and the other I was worried about making it all the way to Dot's during rush hour. Especially since I don't go on the freeway.
My grandmother could have made it on the route I laid out.
Don't know who was at Skippers but I was at a dive in Yuma, AZ for breakfast today. Small eggs too. See you all next week.
Yeah, but your grandmother was a better rider then you. To bad you didn't try the El Cafe Del Coyote in Fortuna Hills. That is one of my favorite breakfast places.
Small eggs? Was it cold there?
We were already down on Foothills so went back to Chicken On The Run when first choice didn't open until 8:00. Have to try your favorite place next time since entry is off the alley through the back door.
I'm sitting in the Whataburger on 518 @ 146 having my breakfast before I get a little nap!
I can't make it today. I have appointment in 1960 area at 9:45. Have a good one.
I obviously overslept this morning. I hope everyone is having a good time.
I set the alarm for 7:00 but the bed felt too good and I found out that after the second snooze button push, it doesn't go off again. Anyway, I'm sure you're nearly done; catch you tomorrow or next week.
Sorry I missed it, I'm up in Conroe with the clan.
Here's a new suggestion. I tried it the other day and it was good.
Cool and dry weather is forecasted.
Really...?? I'm in Italy and you pick a cool restaurant near me...!!


These 2 huge dogs came to the studio last weekend. We are dog lovers here so I always welcome dogs into the studio. These 2 were a bit bigger than most of the dogs that come but they were great to photograph. I love those large eyes and big tongues!
When I had my first Westie we had a big picture printed and framed for above our fireplace. A friend of mine used to give me a hard time because she thought the dog picture was larger than any pictures of the kids. Well, when I look at this dog picture of these 2 adorable beasts, I see it above a fireplace or on a large wall.

So, my friends, tell me are you in for some vintage eye candy? Want to see what I have been dreaming about for months? Want to see where I left some beauties behind (and regretted it ever since).
A couple of months ago, my love and I went on a day trip, to the other side of the country. I was on the hunt. On the hunt for vintage treasures.
I thought I had found a great hunting spot.
Somewhere under the smoke of our national airport we found this huge salvage store, filled with the most amazing pieces. Big industrial stuff that you could only dream off having a use for, and little fun trinkets I all wanted to take home.
And there was so much of it. As usual when surrounded by abundance and too much choices I was flabbergasted and couldn't think of what to choose.
I stood by these vintage bottle crates a long time. Hesitated, and then decided against them. Have regretted it ever since.
They would be great to store roles of wrapping paper….. must go back…..
So much choice it was overwhelming and I wanted to take it all home with me.
I was quite sure nevertheless that we did not have a place for this punching bag (but fun though, isn't it).
Can you imagine this in your craft room. Oh the possibilities. A drawer for all your stamps, for your ribbons, for your papers, for your all your supplies. Ah sigh….
Or maybe some painted shutters?
There were row upon row of shutters. And doors, and windows, and…..
This French sofa had MissMustardSeed written all over it. I loved it but it would look so out of place in our 'modern-industrial-beach-cottage', so it had to stay behind.
Walls and walls of cabinets. I loved the look that was created by combining so many different wall cabinets.
I think this view gives you about a fifth of the whole space. All stocked and filled to the brim.
Ah, looking at it, I just want to get back there. Road trip anyone.
I so want a kitchen hutch. But we don't have the space for it. I might have to make one. I liked the vintage tiles that were adhered to the back. An idea to remember.
I have seen vintage apothecary cabinets on many blogs. Not many in real life. I thought these were great.
I think I need a bigger house….
Did I say he had doors. Chippy paint heaven I tell you!
LOVE these rusty iron gates.
In the end I brought only one thing home with me. I have given it a little makeover and it is almost ready for the full reveal. Hang in there.
But looking at this images, makes me yearn for another visit. Now that I know what is there I want to go back and get there early with an empty day ahead of me (this time we got there at the end of the day as an afterthought), and so much time, to explore and ponder and think.
You found anything good lately?
That place looks like heaven! I wanna go there! It would be insanely difficult to come home with only one item. You have strength!
Fabulous stuff. What a great find.
Oh my gosh Marianne, my heart was skipping a beat just looking at these images! What I'd do to spend an entire day in that place. Yes, Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint is screaming to be put on many of those pieces. I want some of those rod iron gates – beautiful.
Oh my! Oh my!! Yes I can see how you just got one thing as its so much to take in all at once!!! Oh I loved the first photo. I didn't really read, just was kind of glancing and thought oh she gave her doll collection away. Then I paid attention! Oh those bottles look fabulous the way you photographed them but alas I can't justify my entire life savings on bottles that look like old fashioned ball gown bedecked dancers…I mean a lady can dream!!!
Wow, thanks for the eye candy! I love those iron gates too. Makes me want to plan a trip there, but would have to rent a trailer while I'm at it. I can imagine how thrilled you were to find this place!
THIS PLACE SOUNDS AMAZING, CANT FIND THE CONNECTING WEBSITE OR DETAILS OF WHERE THIS PLACE IS, IT MAY JUST BE ME BEING STUPID, BUT COULD YOU PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Scottish Album of the Year Award longlist revealed
Organisers of the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) award say they received a "record-breaking" number of submissions from artists this year.
Twenty albums have been selected for the longlist from 369 submissions by 100 impartial music industry nominators.
The winner will receive a £20,000 prize at the ceremony at Stirling's Albert Halls on October 20.
Among those on the longlist are Declan Welsh and the Decadent West with the album It's Been A Year, and Kathryn Joseph with For You Who Are The Wronged.
A special exhibition showcasing the 20 finalists will be held at the city's Tollbooth.
The longlist will be whittled down to 10 and music fans will then be able to choose the eventual winner in an online poll between October 3 and 5.
Robert Kilpatrick, creative director of the Scottish Music Industry Association/The SAY Award, said: "As Scotland's national music prize, the SAY Award exists to celebrate the cultural impact and contribution of our nation's recorded output.
"2022's longlist presents a dynamic and diverse collection of albums which spans multiple genres and showcases both established and rising talent from across the country.
"Despite the turbulence of recent times, the enduring impact and resonance of the album format remains. As vehicles of both self-discovery and connection with others, their power to ground, inspire and unite us is perhaps more important than ever.
"As we now approach our 2022 ceremony at Stirling's Albert Halls next month, we look forward to championing Scotland's ever evolving music scene and unique cultural identity; recognising the value and magic of music in our lives."
Gerry McGarvey, convener of Stirling Council's community planning and regeneration committee, said: "Congratulations to all the amazing artists from across Scotland that have made the longlist for this prestigious musical award.
"To reach this stage in the competition is an achievement in itself and it's fantastic to have so many Stirling-based artists, and artists that have their roots in the Tolbooth's Music Development workshops, in the final 20, demonstrating the area's dynamic and diverse music scene.
"To celebrate the longlist announcement, we have created a special interactive exhibition in the Tolbooth, where people can sample the best of Scottish music in 2022.
"In just over a month one of these incredible records will be recognised as Scottish Album of the Year in the Albert Halls Stirling, and today's milestone signals the countdown is on to an exciting and inspiring night."

7 Celtic body language images that show a club facing their ultimate crisis
This was meant to be the day things changed, a return to form after a wretched Europa League campaign and stuttering domestic results.
Despite a pair of pastings against Sparta Prague, Celtic powerbrokers Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell decided they could live with it if things started to shift at home.
Neil Lennon talked up a video pow-wow between the trio but Friday feels a long time ago after the embarrassing Betfred Cup defeat to Ross County.
The 35-game domestic cup run is gone and Lennon's side were abysmal and it might be the worst display of the season - and that's some feat considering there's only been two wins in 10.
But terrible results are one thing, you don't need a diploma to realise things aren't right by looking at the faces and body language of those in the firing line.
Record Sport looks at the seven most striking images that occurred long before the protesters headed to Glasgow's east end.
Lennon's hopelessness
Take your pick of any Lennon images from Sunday's shocker. The 49-year-old defines the term 'an open book'. He's been trying mightily to stick up for his players during his pre and post-match pressers for months, but his animated expressions from first whistle to last conflicts with the message he sent out to fans during his TV interview after the game. Lennon remains bullish with the media but he appeared bereft of answers and was surprisingly flat - considering what was on the line. But this image after the second goal goes tells the full story.
Ajeti's nightmare goes on
It's incredible to think that the guy who netted five times when he was working his way up to fitness is the same player who was playing for Celtic against County. Celtic put their faith in Albian Ajeti by splashing out £5million on the West Ham misfit but his recent displays have been abject. Listen, no one is playing well for the Premiership champions but Ajeti's miss in the first half summed-up a striker who doesn't believe in himself. He revealed recently the reason he gets so annoyed with being hooked is because he is so desperate to score goals but that contradicts with the frustration Celtic fans are left with as he's constantly left with as he's caught on his toes or outmuscled by defenders. He was barely in the game after he missed a gilt-edged chance to make it 1-1 and was was replaced by Moi Elyounoussi in the second half.
A skipper without direction
There's a never-ending list for Celtic fans to complain about but perhaps Scott Brown deserves a break considering he was asked to play in midfield by himself as Tom Rogic and Ryan Christie roamed further up the pitch. There was a moment in the first half when he changed his many layers of strapping under his sock and appeared to be cajoled by Lennon, like an old prizefighter on the ropes, but this image of him without any answers shows even the man behind 11 straight domestic trophies is struggling to find answers.
Christie can't watch
(Image: PA)
Christie appears to be starring in a reimagination of the famous The Scream painting as he looked away in horror as Alex Iacovitti wheeled away in delighted after nabbing his side's second goal. This picture encapsulates a player who was below his best despite appearing at times to be Celtic's main attacking threat. But the attacking venom witnessed for Scotland has been reduced to speculative efforts from distance for his club.
Ed's agony goes on
Celtic's talisman was linked with money-spinning moves away in the summer and £40m for a striker many believe is the club's best marksman since Henrik Larsson didn't appear fanciful. But, like the rest of his toling teammates, Edouard has been fighting the malaise that has everyone below their best. His greatest asset is ability to be unfazed in big games but he often appeared a passenger on an afternoon when his manager never needed him more. Here at the final whistle shows a player searching for answers.
No bite from Barkas
Let's be fair to the Greek international, he couldn't really do much with either goal but his grimace here shows a keeper who failed spectacularly to fill the rather sizeable void left by Fraser Forster. Lennon commented about his body language this morning and he seems to have real issues communicating with his backline. He goes one way and the ball goes the other, it appears cruel but Barkas doesn't appear to be the answer.
Off the field strain
And this unfolding nightmare isn't limited to players and the management staff. Celtic chief executive Lawwell cut a dejected figure as he watched his club capitulate in a game they had to win. We're only two days removed from Lennon telling the assembled media that he had enjoyed a productive sitdown with both Lawwell and Parkhead supremo Desmond. But the 61-year-old, much like his manager could do little to hide his frustration on a dark day for a side who have dominated Scottish football over the past decade.

The Gowanus Canal is getting a makeover.
Today the Department of Environmental Protection announced plans to build a sponge park where 2nd street dead ends on the west side of the canal.
The 18-hundred square foot park will cost $1.5 million – funded by the city council and various government grants.
Not only will it be a new place for New Yorkers to lounge around — the park is designed to capture and retain storm water before it reaches the canal.
It is expected to be open by summer 2015.

All this garantees that this will sail thru sec or anybody seeking to stop it. also the guy says how this is the blueprint for development of mainland china and that this could lead to the economic expansion of the chinese economy all this says is sellout of our jobs for profit for elite bankers and financiers with no vote for you and I.
Reply to: Sierra Club: Is Selling Ford Selling Out? 15 years 6 months ago
Fiddling with hybrids, while ZEVs die.
The Sierra Club's ringing endorsement of a mere 2000 Mercury Mariner Hybrid vehicles (29/33 mpg) is emblematic of the sad state of both the automotive industry and the environmental movement. While Dan Becker and Neil Golightly were meeting to come to such an insignificant nationwide result, in California alone an equal number of zero-emission, zero-gasoline electric cars have been taken from satisfied customers and destroyed. 1000 GM EV1s sit crushed in the Arizona desert, and an untold number of Toyota RAV4 EVs, Ford RangerEVs, Ford Th!nk City EVs, and Honda EV+s have similarly been "recycled," as they like to put it. Ford, at least it can be said, is acting in its perceived bottom-line interest in refusing to offer proven non-petroleum options, and touting as significant a 29/33 mpg vehicle merely because it sports the label "hybrid." What interest our oldest environmental organization has in giving Ford and the auto industry cover for denying us meaningful choices remains a mystery to me. www.dontcrush.com
Internal Debate, External Unity
I think it's appropriate for environmentalists to debate the Sierra Club's choice to assist Ford in promoting the Mariner Hybrid SUV. I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining unity when looking at the big picture: climate change, Iraq, oil addiction, etc. When the Wall Street Journal comes calling, our internal discussion should take a back seat to our external, public criticism of the Bush Administration's inaction on climate change, Exxon Mobil's junk science, Cheney and Rumsfeld's oil-motivated militarism, etc. The media always like controversy. We can use their interest to further our cause. The bad guy here isn't the Sierra Club, or even Ford. It is the obstructionists who prevent us from engaging a national Apollo Project for renewable energy and sustainable transportation. If we can keep the media focused there, then the American people will eventually come around. Ford's short term greenwashing is only acceptable if they make continual progress by making more hybrids. 2,000 cars is a very small step. At this point, Toyota will sell more Priuses in one month than Ford expects to in a year. That's not leadership, yet. Sierra Club may have given pre-emptive flattery, but if Ford responds, then maybe they were just a little ahead of the curve.
Would John Muir Drive?
"What Would John Muir Drive? Maybe This SUV 'For years, we've pressured Ford to make more fuel-efficient cars and trucks,' says the Sierra Club's Dan Becker, 'Now they have begun to, and we want to help them succeed.'" So reads the post to the 300,000-strong Sierra Club email list, overtly promoting a Ford SUV. To be fair, any vehicle that gets better gas mileage is good news. However, a closer look reveals that Ford will only produce 2,000 of these vehicles in the 2006 model year. This represents three one-hundredths of one percent of Ford's estimated 2005 sales of nearly 7 million vehicles. And still, Ford is in last place in fuel efficiency among the world's major automakers. The fact is that America can no longer afford to support Ford's oil addiction. If you agree, go to www.FreedomFromOil.org and sign the Declaration of Independence from Oil. Meanwhile, the campaign to Jumpstart Ford continues with a full page ad in today's New York Times. Q: What do Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, Dick Cheney, and Bill Ford Jr. have in common? A: They all love gas guzzlers.
Reply to: Doctored Health News 15 years 6 months ago
Using VNRs in Health News
I founded my company, NewsMD Communications on the very principle that health news is vital and should be reported by health journalists and not public relation personnel. In producing video news releases, I conduct independent research,interview multiple sources as well as analyze and critique information before doing so. Many health reporters contact me for stories because they know I review stories with the same critical eye that they would if they had the time. It's the production -- not the control of content that is paid for. There's a big difference. But, that's no excuse for the health producer or reporter to not get on the phone to do actual research on the story themselves. If they don't then they're simply not doing their jobs. I know I don't allow anyone to control editorial content.

This Sunday was originally dedicated to St Polycarp of Smyrna (February 23). After his glorification in 1368, a second commemoration of St Gregory Palamas (November 14) was appointed for the Second Sunday of Great Lent as a second "Triumph of Orthodoxy."
Saint Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica, was born in the year 1296 in Constantinople. St Gregory's father became a prominent dignitiary at the court of Andronicus II Paleologos (1282-1328), but he soon died, and Andronicus himself took part in the raising and education of the fatherless boy. Endowed with fine abilities and great diligence, Gregory mastered all the subjects which then comprised the full course of medieval higher education. The emperor hoped that the youth would devote himself to government work. But Gregory, barely twenty years old, withdrew to Mount Athos in the year 1316 (other sources say 1318) and became a novice in the Vatopedi monastery under the guidance of the monastic Elder St Nicodemus of Vatopedi (July 11). There he was tonsured and began on the path of asceticism. A year later, the holy Evangelist John the Theologian appeared to him in a vision and promised him his spiritual protection. Gregory's mother and sisters also became monastics.
After the demise of the Elder Nicodemus, St Gregory spent eight years of spiritual struggle under the guidance of the Elder Nicephorus, and after the latter's death, Gregory transferred to the Lavra of St Athanasius (July 5). Here he served in the trapeza, and then became a church singer. But after three years, he resettled in the small skete of Glossia, striving for a greater degree of spiritual perfection. The head of this monastery began to teach the young man the method of unceasing prayer and mental activity, which had been cultivated by monastics, beginning with the great desert ascetics of the fourth century: Evagrius Pontikos and St Macarius of Egypt (January 19).
Later on, in the eleventh century St Simeon the New Theologian (March 12) provided detailed instruction in mental activity for those praying in an outward manner, and the ascetics of Athos put it into practice. The experienced use of mental prayer (or prayer of the heart), requiring solitude and quiet, is called "Hesychasm" (from the Greek "hesychia" meaning calm, silence), and those practicing it were called "hesychasts."
St Gregory combined his priestly duties with the life of a hermit. Five days of the week he spent in silence and prayer, and only on Saturday and Sunday did he come out to his people. He celebrated divine services and preached sermons. For those present in church, his teaching often evoked both tenderness and tears. Sometimes he visited theological gatherings of the city's educated youth, headed by the future patriarch, Isidore. After he returned from a visit to Constantinople, he found a place suitable for solitary life near Thessalonica the region of Bereia. Soon he gathered here a small community of solitary monks and guided it for five years.
About the year 1330 the learned monk Barlaam had arrived in Constantinople from Calabria, in Italy. He was the author of treatises on logic and astronomy, a skilled and sharp-witted orator, and he received a university chair in the capital city and began to expound on the works of St Dionysius the Areopagite (October 3), whose "apophatic" ("negative", in contrast to "kataphatic" or "positive") theology was acclaimed in equal measure in both the Eastern and the Western Churches. Soon Barlaam journeyed to Mt. Athos, where he became acquainted with the spiritual life of the hesychasts'. Saying that it was impossible to know the essence of God, he declared mental prayer a heretical error. Journeying from Mount Athos to Thessalonica, and from there to Constantinople, and later again to Thessalonica, Barlaam entered into disputes with the monks and attempted to demonstrate the created, material nature of the light of Tabor (i.e. at the Transfiguration). He ridiculed the teachings of the monks about the methods of prayer and about the uncreated light seen by the hesychasts.
St Gregory, at the request of the Athonite monks, replied with verbal admonitions at first. But seeing the futility of such efforts, he put his theological arguments in writing. Thus appeared the "Triads in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts" (1338). Towards the year 1340 the Athonite ascetics, with the assistance of the saint, compiled a general response to the attacks of Barlaam, the so-called "Hagiorite Tome." At the Constantinople Council of 1341 in the church of Hagia Sophia St Gregory Palamas debated with Barlaam, focusing upon the nature of the light of Mount Tabor. On May 27, 1341 the Council accepted the position of St Gregory Palamas, that God, unapproachable in His Essence, reveals Himself through His energies, which are directed towards the world and are able to be perceived, like the light of Tabor, but which are neither material nor created. The teachings of Barlaam were condemned as heresy, and he himself was anathemized and fled to Calabria.
But the dispute between the Palamites and the Barlaamites was far from over. To these latter belonged Barlaam's disciple, the Bulgarian monk Akyndinos, and also Patriarch John XIV Kalekos (1341-1347); the emperor Andronicus III Paleologos (1328-1341) was also inclined toward their opinion. Akyndinos, whose name means "one who inflicts no harm," actually caused great harm by his heretical teaching. Akyndinos wrote a series of tracts in which he declared St Gregory and the Athonite monks guilty of causing church disorders. The saint, in turn, wrote a detailed refutation of Akyndinos' errors. The patriarch supported Akyndinos and called St Gregory the cause of all disorders and disturbances in the Church (1344) and had him locked up in prison for four years. In 1347, when John the XIV was replaced on the patriarchal throne by Isidore (1347-1349), St Gregory Palamas was set free and was made Archbishop of Thessalonica.
St Gregory performed many miracles in the three years before his death, healing those afflicted with illness. On the eve of his repose, St John Chrysostom appeared to him in a vision. With the words "To the heights! To the heights!" St Gregory Palamas fell asleep in the Lord on November 14, 1359. In 1368 he was canonized at a Constantinople Council under Patriarch Philotheus (1354-1355, 1364-1376), who compiled the Life and Services to the saint.
al-ways intercede before the Lord that our souls may be saved.
Judgment Judgment is at the doors!
so that we may receive the incorruptible crowns."
together we sing your praises, O God-inspired Gregory.
so that we may sing to you: "Rejoice, preacher of grace."
